Located on the grounds of Toledo Speedway, the Bar/Grille will also be celebrating St. Patrick's Day all day this Saturday, with a Jigg's Dinner available. The kitchen and bar will be open all day. Admission to all festivities is free and open to the general public.
The Reunion begins at Noon and runs until 5 p.m. At 6 p.m., the Michigan Auto Racing Fan Club will conduct their monthly meeting at the Bar and Grille. The Toledo location has hosted the March event for several years in conjunction with the Racer's Reunion. ARCA President Ron Drager will speak to the crowd about the 2013 plans for both shorts tracks and for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.
Following the meeting, both tracks will give away 4 hour track rentals, pad rentals, tickets and more in a random drawing. Drivers must be present to win.
"We enjoy these Racer's Reunions, which gives us the opportunity to say thank you to our former racers at both tracks," noted Ron Drager, promoter of both speedways. "With the addition of the 60 year Anniversary celebration at Flat Rock this season, we are looking forward to a large turnout of racers March 16 as well as at our Racer's Reunion weekend during the season."
